Re: [TCLUG:16642] Backdoor Password in Red Hat Linux Virtual ServerPackage



Thank you Carl. I just got into work, still a half quart low on coffee,

think our DNS servers were having problems. Fixed now though :-/

Don't think of it as `gun control', think of it as `victim
disarmament'. If we make enough laws, we can all be criminals.
